1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother, October 19, 2009

This might be one of the worst electronic product designs I've seen. Plug in any power cord, even without a load on the other end, and this device makes an impressive radio transmitter. Broadband noise from 30 to well over 100MHz was horrific. Out of curiosity, I pulled the device apart to determine the source of the RF and what I found was a product with so many misaligned parts and poorly done work-arounds, it shouldn't even be passed off as a prototype. Note to the manufacturer: your CE stamp isn't even CE compliant.

I'm not sure what items this will power, but an iPod caused it to 'pop' and smoke came out of the front of the inverter. Sorry I bought this product.

This review is from: AIMS Power 300 watt PURE (True) Sine Power Inverter (Electronics)

The first one of these new inverters I bought popped and smoked, also. I sent it back, but the new one doesn't perform anywhere near as well as the older, larger, grey model. I was very disappointed in the performance, and returned mine for a refund.
